In this study, researchers from China evaluated the clinical characteristics of functional dyspepsia (FD) with spleen deficiency syndrome and the metabolic perturbations involved in the progression of FD. The results of their study were published in the journal Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that spleen deficiency syndrome is associated with delayed gastric emptying and perturbations in the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway experienced by FD patients. The metabolic biomarkers and clinical features they identified could be useful for the multidimensional diagnosis of FD.
